If you suffer from phobia then why not get a real scare when flying. here is what you do: when the plane takes off at rolling speed, just peek out the window and see the earth being left below, far far away. This way the trip will be totally unforgetful.
One person's fear is another person's joyride. i love flying planes, its half the fun of the trip. On my next long trip, i will be on 11 different planes, hopping from one place to another in one month alone. If they add a few more stops, i would love it even more. take-offs and landings are the most fun. the ride becomes totally boring when you are at cruising altitude. I even love airplane food, i wish they had a restaurant which served airplane style food in tiny little dishes. This 8th of december, i will be flying in the new Boeing 777 to london. Just can't wait to see this plane from inside and experience the flying.
I love airplanes, for that reason alone, i would fly anywhere, even if they send me to iraq.
